If under the Opposition a permanent resident taxpayer (but non citizen) can’t gain welfare if they need it, why stop there. Surely non-citizens shouldn’t be able to call the police, or join a library, or seek help at a public hospital regardless of the taxes they’ve paid. 🤷‍♂️

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

If I were lachie neale’s achilles I’d be very nervous after seeing what happened to @NBA stars haliburton this year and durant in 2019 when they carried dodgy calves into deciders 😬 #AFLGF

So the Rankine verdict was leaked by someone in the integrity unit? The @AFL is the gift that keeps on giving.

@anndeejam It’s an indefensible act, but even in such cases there’s room for context. I think that being antagonized by the player that knocked you out illegally the last time you played, in the lead up to the act, is a reasonable point to make.

[Robert Dean @robdeanski]

I’d be curious for a work health and safety perspective on the rankine incident. He’s done the wrong thing, but have all players (ie employees) signed on to a policy whereby if they discriminate, they agree to be hung, drawn and quartered in the public square? Is this the policy?

An excellent final observation from Gideon Haigh on Offsiders today about Gillon MCLachlan’s Tabcorp appointment and the nexus between sport, gambling and commercial broadcasters. Worth a watch and share.

For the life of me, I don’t know why, in our hearts, we would say no to such an elegant and simple proposition.
